In her post, Smart says “So happy to welcome Olivia to our family!”
In 2002, the 31-year-old was kidnapped at age 14 from her Salt Lake City bedroom by street preacher Brian David Mitchell and held captive for nine months. Mitchell was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping and raping Smart.
Mitchell’s wife, Wanda Barzee, was also in prison but was unexpectedly released in September.
Smart, who has become a child safety advocate, spoke out against Barzee’s release. But she has said she won’t let it stop her from living her life.
